Ingredients
  

1 pre-made puff pastry sheet (thawed)

3-4 ripe heirloom tomatoes (sliced)

1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese (sliced or torn)

1/2 cup goat cheese (crumbled)

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tbsp olive oil

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (plus extra for garnish)

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Balsamic reduction (for drizzling, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry to fit your baking sheet. Trim the edges to form a rectangle or circle, depending on your preference. Poke holes in the base of the pastry with a fork to prevent it from puffing up too much while baking.

      Add the Mustard: Spread the Dijon mustard evenly over the puff pastry, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.

        Create the Cheese Layer: Sprinkle the fresh mozzarella slices evenly across the mustard, followed by the crumbled goat cheese.

          Layer the Tomatoes: Arrange the sliced heirloom tomatoes in a beautiful overlapping pattern atop the cheeses. Sprinkle with minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, sea salt, and black pepper.

            Fold the Edges: Carefully fold the edges of the pastry over the tomatoes, pinching to secure them and create a rustic crust.

              Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the exposed crust with the beaten egg to give it a golden finish during baking.

                Bake the Tart: Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy, and the tomatoes are nicely roasted.

                  Finishing Touches: Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic reduction (if using) and garnish with extra thyme leaves before slicing.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Cut into slices and serve warm or at room temperature for an impressive appetizer or light main dish.
